Our psychophysical approach has the goal of explaining the dependence of reading performance on text parameters in terms of our understanding of spatial vision. In this presentation, we will focus on the impact of three attributes of characters (contrast, size and bandwidth), introduce the explanatory concept of the visual span, and discuss implications for text displays.
